This internship is structured around your academic calendar and is designed to support and not interfere with your academic commitments.

The program is limited to the timeframe necessary to fulfill your educational objectives, as outlined by your university or college.

Academic credit is required as a condition of participation. Interns must coordinate with their academic advisor or internship office to ensure credit is granted. (Students should verify this with their school before starting.)

The internship provides training similar to that offered in an educational environment, with an emphasis on supervision, feedback, and skill development.

The intern’s work will be designed to complement, not replace, the work of paid employees, ensuring the focus remains on learning and growth.

Both the intern and Fixins Soul Kitchen understand that there is no guarantee or entitlement to a paid job at the conclusion of the internship.
